A. They are most accurately described as EPS pollystireene foam insulated Hardy-Wall or

aluminum panelized buildings. That is, the walls are prebuilt in our plant in South Florida, just like your normal site built custom home or building. Electric & plumbing chases or

pipes are installed at our factory and when the walls are put together on site, the pipes

will line up and connect together. Texture product, paint or TEX-COAT can then be applied but, in some cases the walls are left with nothing applied on them except white electro paint. The windows and doors are installed with high quality caulking and flashing. The wall panels are carefully stacked flat, banded in bundles, and wrapped in waterproof

plastic for shipment and loaded into shipping containers or onto flat bed trucks.

Q. What is included in the house / building package?

A. Brief specification of panel's;

Exterior walls to be 3 1/8" thick, 5/16" Hardy-Board both faces or aluminum, bonded to 2.5" EPS core. Joinery to be 3". wide-galvanized steel strips, two, at each joint. Fasteners to be self drilling screws. Fasteners for roof to walls to be through SS bolts, with washers. Roof panels to be 3". and 4". thick as shown on Rapid drawing. Aluminum faces bonded to EPS core. Elite includes all extrusions per prepared bill of fasteners, calking, exterior textured coating, panels as shown, to be cut to size in the field, as ridge beam for roof and fascia. Elite is supplying materials for walls and roof only, 2 exterior doors, windows, plans, electric chase in the walls & up to 4 day, on site installation assistance. The rest of your hardware, foundation, interior partitions, plumbing, electrical is to be supplied by others. Thus saving you more money.

A. Almost any kind you want. The standard brand we use is Metro Dade County

approved single hung or rolling slider and has a lifetime warranty, but we also

will install many brands including impact windows & doors.

Q. What kind of hurricane protection come with it?

A. Again, almost any kind you want. The standard brand we use is Metro Dade County approved Aluminum and also has a lifetime warranty, but we also will install many types including Accordion panels & rolldowns.

Q. Can I do it myself?

A. Many people with basic carpentry skills and tools have built the Elite Prefab Homes

& buildings and saved a lot of money acting as owner-builders or their own general contractor. Most people hire subcontractors to do the technical parts such as the foundation, plumbing and electrical.

Bottom line and I'm not trying to be funny:

If you can read a level, operate a screw gun, calk gun & put texture or paint on a wall then, you could be all dried in with the roof and walls in just a couple of days with four

guys staying on it.

Q. How long does it take to put the house/building together?

A. If you stayed on it with four people you could:

1) Form it & pour your slab in a day or two.

2) Install your walls & roof in a day or two.

3) Do the electric & plumbing in a day each.

4) Put interior walls in 2 or 3 days.

5) Paint it & landscape it.

Sounds easy, right? You bet it is!

Q. How much do the home packages cost?

A. They are usually $43.75 per sq. ft., including 3 sets of detailed plans. Prices are plus local sales taxes in Florida. Call or email for a price list on our stock plans as seen on the website. How to calculate your cost for your Elite Prefab Home building project.

Average 3 bedroom, 2 bath 1000 sq.ft. @ $43.75 a sq.ft. = $43,750.00

Now add your foundation, electric and so on.

Q. What kind of machinery is used to unload the trucks and hoist the walls?

A. The panels weigh 46 pounds and 2 men can easily unload the truck with no need for any boom truck or machinery.

Q. How will I know how to put the house together?

A. The house package arrives with a plan marked with the exact location

of every panel and each panel is clearly marked with its location.

house arrives, and your Elite Prefab Homes Representative, will be on site when the

first truck arrives and available to answer any questions you may have
